Putting On All The Sparkle

We truly did find the perfect tree this year.  It was the tallest tree we have had and was not too fat!  What wasn't so perfect this year was the lights.  I had only 1 strand to go and we needed to leave to go to some friends house.  When we got home I plugged the tree in and 1 of the strands decided not to work.  I start taking that strand off because it was the last 1 I had put on.  In the meantime another strand goes out and I can't find the end of it!!  So I just push it back into the tree as far as I can.  With 2 strands down I am going to need more lights!!  So at 9:00 p.m. I run to town so I can try and get my lights finished.  Thankfully once it was all decorated it looked great and hopefully now that I have new lights I won't run into the same lighting issues next year!!
